Route 611 north of Downtown Easton to Eddyside Park was shut down early this afternoon after boulders rolled onto the two-lane road in a section called "the Narrows," according to a Northampton County emergency dispatch supervisor.

The rocks fell in the area of the abandoned Community Beach, the supervisor confirmed. Heavy equipment was needed to remove the boulders, emergency dispatches say.

Those needing to get north on Route 611 can pick it up from East Lafayette Street in the city or Frost Hollow Road in Forks Township.
